Published on July 6, 2021, Arsenal FC is undergoing a significant transformation, with the club ready to part ways with more than 10 players this season.

The Gunners are in dire need of funds to pay for their new squad, and offloading 12 outgoing players is a crucial step in achieving this goal.

Among the high-profile names on the list are Xhaka, Willian, Guendouzi, Saliba, Torreira, Nketiah, Bellerin, and Maitland-Niles, who are all expected to be sold or loaned out.

Arsenal is aiming to secure £120-150 million in fees and freed wages to fund their massive squad rebuild.

Meanwhile, Blackburn's Adam Armstrong has been attracting Premier League interest, with Southampton reportedly the favourites to sign him in place of Danny Ings, who has refused to sign a contract extension.

The club has also completed the deal for Albert Sambi Lokonga and is keeping tabs on his young Belgian teammate Yari Verschueren, who is considered Belgium's next big star.
